 MUCH easier to use than Windows Mobile Smart Phones September 28, 2008
I went to this from an Ipaq. The Ipaq was OK, but not easy to dial while driving (pretty much impossible to do safely), and kind of big for me to just put in a pocket or even on a clip. I got tired of it after about 8 months, and updated to this.
I find the ease of use of this unit and it's efficient use of size more than makes up for the major features it is missing, which is WiFi and GPS.
 Abysmal experience with reception and battery life September 16, 2008

As a devoted Palm user for over a decade I found this model terribly disappointing. In a side-by-side reception comparison with my venerable Treo 650 the Centro is worse by 2-3 bars. Perhaps as a result the Centro drains the battery completely within a day, just on standby(!). I had AT&T replace the unit twice, and also bought an extended-life battery -- same problems. AT&T then replaced the SIM card for good luck -- no improvement. So, the problems are extremely unlikely to be due to unit defects. Based on this experience I suggest avoiding the Centro like the plague, unless you work and live atop an AT&T cell station.
 nice looking phone (i had the obsidian blk) but BAD choice August 25, 2008

the SMARTphone isn't so smart .... it doesn't have something so basic as a regular alarm clock!!!! if u want to set an alarm, u have to use the calendar (which clutters it up!) if u want a repeating alarm. if u set it with the world time option, it will only work for the next 24 hours, after which u need to set it again!!! pretty dumb, i think. if the manufacturer could put a gazillion other features in the phone, surely they could put in a regular alarm clock!! i wasn't looking into using the phone for internet so i had few qualms about returning it within a week! it was a really sleek, nice-looking phone though. its pix don't do it justice!
Nice Phone But Takes Some Time Getting Used To. July 24, 2008

I have this phone and was debating on whether to exchange it or not for something a little simpler. I decided to keep it because it's that "candy bar" style, no sliding or flipping up to use and am happy with it for the most part. It took some time getting used to. I don't like the fact that there is no "back" button. I love the touch screen. I find myself trying to use the touch screen on my husbands phone (Blackberry 8110) or my kids (LG Shine). Battery life is pretty good. I had a Samsung M300 and that thing needed charging every day. I charge this about every 4 days. One thing I discovered is the my ringer volume got softer/low after about a month. At first I thought it was my imagination. I could've sworn it was louder than what it was. Even on the highest level I could barely hear it. After researching from other users, I took out the battery and re-inserted. Now that's the ringer volume that I remember having. It saved me a trip to AT&T.
 Love my Centro!! July 14, 2008

I am a simple-phone person and was quite hesitant to take on this smart phone. However, it has proven to be the best phone purchase I have made yet. I have never loved a phone quite like this one.
The dual option of touch-screen and button navigation is great and it even comes with a handy Palm pen. I also love that you do not have to fiddle with wires to connect it to your computer. It transfers all data through Blue Tooth technology and is compatible with MAC OSX. It's light for what it is and stylish.
My only complain is that sometimes it takes a while to "think" between applications. But it's an every-so-often thing so it doesn't bother me that much.
Overall I am very happy with the purchase of this phone and the PDA plans through AT&T are quite affordable for this smart device. I would prefer this over Blackberry, and maybe even as a great alternative to the iPhone.
